`No doubt you are now going to write a book about
the United States like everyone else?'
`Certainly not,' I said. `My visit has only lasted a few weeks.'
`Quite right,' he said, `that's much too long.'
On the Ile-de-France which took me back to Europe I made this note:
`What have I gained from these two months? Is my memory of them
pleasant or unpleasant? Pleasant, without question. I loved this
country ... Henceforth I shall remember that over there - quite
close to us, only six days at sea away -there is an immense reservoir
of strength and friendship ... I myself, who am nervous and easily
tired, have been healthy, alert and happy for two months, despite
a frantic schedule. I felt younger in America. There was a youthful
vigour in that fine autumn air that took me out of myself. ...'

From
then on I was never to forget the existence beyond the seas of
that `reservoir of strength and friendship'. And a short time
after my return to France I was to have need of this memory, for
I suddenly found myself - I who in my provincial naivete had believed
I had no enemies - the object of an absurd and brutal attack which,
however, was contrived with Machiavellian cunning. Who was the
instigator? A young Egyptian, who had no qualification for this
task, whom I did not know but who seems to have felt for me a hatred
that was as violent as it was unexplainable. What charges did he
bring against me? The charge of having plagiarized certain English
writers in Ariel and Disraeli! What proof did he give? None, except
quotations whose choice was ridiculous, for every time he found
in my book and in earlier English works a fact such as: `Little
Ianthe, Shelley's daughter, had blue eyes,' he was noisily triumphant.
Every aspect of this attack was puerile, but it had been published
in a magazine that had a reputation for seriousness and for this
reason it made something of a stir. Being perfectly sure of my
good faith I went to see Alfred Vallette, the editor of this magazine,
who, I was told by his authors, was an honest man, and I reproached
him for the irresponsibility with which he had accepted a defamatory
article.
`None of this will hold water,' I said. `If you had sent me a proof,
which would have been the decent and courteous thing to do, I would
immediately have shown you the baselessness of this accusation.'
He replied that it was customary for his magazine to welcome `cam
